likely, however, that some important transits of this

of this short report changes, and the selection of the
themes which are discussed here will change as well.

I don't seem to have had my free forecast updated for some time. Do the
free
forecasts finish after a certain time?

No, the free forecasts don't finish, they are always available and updated
when there are changes in the current transits. Every month our system
checks
whether there are new important transits during the next six-month period.
Since some transits last for quite a long time, they remain on display for
quite some time as well - although we do try to bring in some variety.

Robert Hand and Liz Greene use different orbs for their forecast reports.

The Horoscope Calendar / (Extended) Daily Horoscope, Transits of the Year,
and
Astrotext Forecast by Robert Hand use an orb of 1° for all transits to all
natal planets.

Liz Greene uses a more complex system which considers different factors,
such
as pre-orb / post-orb, aspect type, and the planets involved. It would be
too
complex to list all the orbs individually. The least we can say is that
her
orbs are generally wider, and therefore the activity period is usually
longer
than it would be with a 1° orb.
